The present paper presents a model for texture discrimination based on Gabor functions. In
this model the Gabor power spectrum of the micropatterns corresponding to different …

We measured contrast detection thresholds for a foveal Gabor signal flanked by two high
contrast Gabor signals. The spatially localized target and masks enabled investigation of …

For a patch of random visual texture embedded in a surrounding background of similar
texture, we demonstrate that the perceived contrast of the texture patch depends …

Lateral interactions between spatial filters were explored with a lateral masking paradigm.
Contrast sensitivity (two-alternative forced-choice) for a Gabor signal in the presence of two …

Computer simulations of a neural network model of 1-D and 2-D brightness phenomena are
presented. The simulations indicate how configural image properties trigger interactions …

We studied the effects of contextual modulation in area V1 of anesthetized macaque
monkeys. In 146 cells, responses to a single line over the center of the receptive field were …

Rapid texture segregation is examined using filtered noise textures. The stimuli consist of a
foreground region of filtered noise with one dominant texture orientation against a …

A real-time visual processing theory is developed to explain how three-dimensional form,
color, and brightness percepts are coherently synthesized. The theory describes how …

The apparent contrast of a central stimulus is affected by the presence of surrounding
stimuli. For some stimulus conditions, the apparent contrast is suppressed and for other …

Interactions between filters tuned to different orientations and spatial locations were
investigated with a masking paradigm. Targets were masked by pairs of Gabor signals …
